Title: batch file
Post by: daryllsilorio on November 16, 2011, 10:40:43 PM

Hi
Good day!

Need help here, I'm planning to create a batch file that would run as the application as admin.
I want to run the application to those user who doesnt have admin rights and I'm not planning
to give them as well.

Any reply is very much appreciated.

You will want to do 2 things.

Use RUNAS to elevate privileges for the batched instructions.

Compile the batch to EXE to hide your admin user/password from curious eyes. Its not perfect in hiding your credentials, but its better than keeping it as a .bat and having it able to be viewed by anyone curious.

Lots of RunAS alternatives that wrap the Credentials into an encrypted exe.

Anyone curious can view a compiled batch.
